Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
  • ¼–½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1-2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • ½ cup corn (optional)
  • ¼ red onion (sliced)
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, green onions, herbs

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Cook the Chicken
    Cook your chicken however fits your day:
    Pan-seared: about 6–8 minutes per side
    Air fryer: 375°F for 12–15 minutes
    Or—honestly—use rotisserie chicken
    Make sure it hits 165°F inside. That’s your safety line.
    Let it rest a bit. Then shred or cube it.
  2. Step 2: Coat with BBQ Sauce
    Toss the warm chicken with BBQ sauce.
    Start small—2–3 tablespoons. Add more if needed.
    Too much sauce? It can overpower everything. You want balance, not a sugar rush.
  3. Step 3: Build Your Bowl
    Now the fun part.
    Add cottage cheese as your base
    Layer BBQ chicken on top
    Scatter veggies around
    Think of it like building a salad… but better.
  4. Step 4: Finish Strong
    Top it off with:
    Cheese
    Herbs
    A drizzle of extra sauce (optional)
    Serve immediately—or chill it for later.
